“Your haircut price is your single most important business decision.”

                                    –Ivan Zoot, Author, The Professional Haircutter’s Pricing Playbook

How much should I charge for my haircuts? When should I raise my haircut price? How do I raise my haircut price? These questions and many more gnaw at the head and heart of every haircutter! No category of questions is asked of me more often. No decision paralyzes haircut professionals more than these seemingly huge and pivotal pricing issues.

The good news is that these decisions can be easy to make. The better news is that these decisions, when made, are based on data and math. Relief should come in knowing that when the emotion is removed from the decision-making process, and when best practices based on statistics, tracking and analysis are employed, then pricing and financial decisions become logical, easy and fun! Bottom line, you can make decisions with confidence and clarity. And you can make these decisions in a timely manner to maximize your income and productivity.

Your haircut price is your single most important decision! The trajectory of your entire cutting career tracks upward from your initial pricing decision. Start cutting at too low a price and you’ll spend years, maybe decades, trying to catch up! Start out too high, and you’ll add unnecessary years to your client-building efforts. Time is money. The time you save by setting your haircut price properly from the start will add up to years of healthy productivity – and thousands of additional dollars sooner and with less effort. Proper pricing will allow you to live better and retire earlier …  and vastly richer than you otherwise might have!

Knowing when and how to raise your haircut price is a decision second only to the setting of your initial haircut price. Once you know and understand the basic economic principles at play in haircut price increases, you can plug in and play these principles for the balance of your career. Human nature does not change much over an individual lifetime. Economic principles remain constant across all industries, cultures, and environments. Powerful decision-making tools, once learned and implemented, will reap huge rewards throughout your career.
